NIGHT MARKET

San Francisco is a crumbling near-future hellscape in Moore's latest audiobook, narrated by James Patrick Cronin. Homicide Inspector Ross Carver and his partner aren't sure what to make of a body they find that is seemingly being eaten away by a moss-like substance. Minutes after their discovery, they are shoved into a decontamination chamber and drugged unconscious by the FBI. Carver wakes up much later with no memory of the incident and sets out to investigate his lost days and the mysterious events surrounding them. Cronin's commanding voice and terse delivery capture the novel's unique blend of classic noir and dark science fiction reminiscent of the movie BLADE RUNNER. Though the story is grim, it's compelling from start to finish. A.T.N. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2018]
